Chapter 276: A Useless Treasure
Chapter 276: A Useless Treasure
"That's good."
Shen Yi retracted his sword array and looked ahead, "What about the bamboo forest?"
Speaking of the bamboo forest, A Qing's face once again showed a hint of excitement, "This is definitely not an array that a mere Artificer can construct. Its structure is on a completely different level from the entire Daoist mansion. It must have been designed by a true master."
After saying this, he took out the route map he had picked up earlier, "Xuan Guang Cave has guessed over seventy routes, and while it seems that there is a way out, in reality, once they finish trying all of them, they will find that seventy has turned into hundreds, or even thousands of paths."
"This is a deliberate mistake made by the master, toying with those who dare to intrude."
"Once one believes in this path, even a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator might fall into it."
"So that's how it is."
Shen Yi felt his brain itch a little, and he could only nod casually.
"Grandmaster, give me a little more time, and I'll copy this array. I should be able to decipher it." A Qing waved his palm, looking full of confidence, but then he bowed his head in embarrassment.
"Even if I decipher it, it won't be of any use. The teleportation array is about to close, and who knows when it will open again."
If it was just to gain knowledge, it would indeed be a fruitful experience.
But Shen Grandmaster was most likely only interested in the treasures inside.
"No problem, you go ahead."
Shen Yi didn't show any disappointment and remained calm as always.
He only had one question.
There was someone guarding the entrance of Xuan Guang Cave, and just one step forward was the array. Even the Great Qian Dynasty had silver bells to communicate with each other, so how could Xuan Guang Cave not have something similar?
Moreover, with the array damaged, everyone was randomly teleported to different locations.
In other words, as long as the Xuan Guang Cave guardian grandmaster stepped into the array, there would be a chance to send out a message.
Under such circumstances, the White Feather Demon Sovereign was allowed to swagger right up to Zhang Mingyang, who was completely unprepared.
After all, he was a Supreme Primordial Grandmaster with a profound background, and it was absurd that he couldn't even take a step forward before being killed.
If his guess was correct, there was likely another entrance.
Once A Qing figures out this array, they could summon the White Feather Demon Sovereign and ask him directly.
"..."
A Qing noticed Shen Yi's expression, but she interpreted it differently.
Knowing that they couldn't enter, Shen Yi was still willing to waste his precious time to stay and help her copy the array.
Since leaving home, A Qing had never encountered such a good-tempered strong cultivator.
Even at home, only her father would be so patient with her.
She whispered, "Thank you, Grandmaster Shen."
"Just call me Shen Yi."
Shen Yi nodded and turned to leave, no longer disturbing her.
He understood arrays, had extensive knowledge, and even knew the whereabouts of the Supreme Spirit Root.
This time, he had truly stumbled upon a treasure.
He needed to find an excuse to keep her by his side.
"Shen Yi."
A Qing quietly muttered his name, staring at his departing figure. She helplessly clenched her fists.
Given his previous decisive and ruthless demeanor, she wouldn't dare to directly address him by name, even if she borrowed a few more hearts.
"Let's get to work first!"
She took out the paper and brush again. This was the opportunity given by Shen's senior brother, and she couldn't waste his time anymore.
...
For Primordial Cultivators with lifespans of thousands of years, three days were but a fleeting moment.
Chen Zhong returned from a distance, "Senior Shen, I took a look around, and occasionally saw a few Condensing Core Realm juniors passing by. It seems there's no danger."
A Qing carefully finished the last stroke, then rushed over to the two of them in a flustered manner.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! We're running out of time!"
Seeing her pure and innocent appearance, Chen Zhong sighed helplessly.
Within the Great Qian Dynasty, those who had reached the Condensing Core Realm were all veterans who had survived bloody battles.
Only a family as detached from worldly affairs as hers could nurture such a junior.
The vastness of the Nine Provinces made it impractical for the Xu family to construct a similar concealment array to cover all of Da Qian. It would have been much easier if they could have done so.
"Let's go."
Shen Yi rode on the Crimson Cloud, not concealing his aura, and followed A Qing's guidance towards the main entrance of the Daoist mansion.
Chen Zhong realized his intention and summoned his Upper Realm Primordial Dao Embryo, allowing his aura to permeate the area.
Two Primordial Grandmasters were about to leave.
Anyone with a bit of foresight would follow suit and leave as well.
As for those who were still unwilling to leave, they could only leave their fate to the heavens.
At this moment, somewhere within the Daoist mansion.
A man with a black mole on his face spat in frustration, "Peh!"
He had been searching cautiously in this place for many days, yet he had found nothing.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
The man with the black mole cursed, feeling an intense headache.
For a Primordial Grandmaster, there should be very few things in the world that could pose a challenge.
But borrowing someone else's item to acquire a useless treasure was not a wise move.
He had hoped to profit from his connections, but no matter how eloquently he spoke, he couldn't sell it. Earlier, at the Eight Directions Dining Hall, he had even drawn ridicule for no reason.
The ridicule was one thing, but now he owed several friends precious items, and he had no way to make amends.
He could only try his luck within the Daoist mansion.
"One last time, give me another chance, I promise I won't do such a stupid thing again!"
The man with the black mole continued to venture deeper, and at that moment, two overwhelming auras caught his attention.
"What's going on?"
He looked up and saw two Primordial Grandmasters exerting their full strength, rushing towards the outside.
Something's wrong! His heart tightened, and he hurriedly stopped in his tracks.
In just a moment of hesitation, the man with the black mole summoned his Dao Embryo without looking back and leaped into the air, following the direction of the auras.
No matter what happened, it couldn't be good.
He had no faith in his luck at the moment, so he decided to flee as a precaution.
...
Two spirituous high mountains stood side by side, their peaks reflecting each other's beauty.
Between them, dense grass swayed in the wind, emitting a dim light.
The array seemed to have fallen into disrepair over the years, losing its former splendor.
As time passed, the already faint glow continued to fade...
Shen Yi, accompanied by Chen Zhong and A Qing, descended from the sky.
To their surprise, over a dozen figures had gathered around them.
Among them were several familiar faces, including the Yu brothers and three other Primordial Grandmasters.
Yu Yuehu held his brother's badly injured body, his face filled with intense anger, while his eyes flickered with frustration and worry.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Chen Zhong frowned as he saw the severe injuries on the other man's brother, knowing that without immediate treatment, it could lead to serious complications.
"Senior."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuehu's face turned bitter. Without replying immediately, he turned and showed Chen Zhong the palm print on his back.
"I tried to leave, but they forced me back... They want to search my brother and me. I don't care about the treasures on my body, but they want to search my brother!"
"With their reputation, how dare I entrust my brother to them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became enraged and began to curse.
"How shameless of a Supreme Primordial Grandmaster to try and rob us right in front of the Eight Directions Dining Hall! Don't they care about the reputation of the dining hall? Zhenjian True Person will surely make them pay!"
"It's indeed a Supreme Primordial Grandmaster from the Radiant Light Cave. Only a Divine Transformation Realm Cultivator could deal with him."
Yu Yuehu sighed. Having been struck by the palm strike, he knew the severity of the situation better than anyone. He had assumed that Chen Zhong would also be worried, as the other party had been staying in the Daoist mansion for some time and must have gained something valuable.
What he didn't expect was—
"Oh."
Chen Zhong nodded, his expression calm and unperturbed, as he retreated behind Shen Yi.
